23:03:45 <greenshoe> I had a false start getting my finances into GNUCash in 2016. I got some experience with the system and modeled the most some of the most important and complex transactions like my paycheck with all its line items.
23:04:31 <greenshoe> Recently I have started again, and my books are 100% current on a cash basis from just before 2018 at the opening dates of the various credit card and bank accounts in 2017 which do not start on the first of the month,
23:05:47 <greenshoe> It would be cleaner to delete everything before this time so that my books are 100% complete and consistent without gaps. Currently the point in time in 2017 when books start being consistent is marked by several Balance Adjustments to bring accounts into line.
23:07:36 <greenshoe> What I want to do is to make note of all the opening balances of the statements in 2017, delete every transaction before then including teh balance adjustments which are entered as 1 day before teh opening balance of any given account.
23:08:00 <greenshoe> Then create an Opening Balance from Equity to each applicable account.
23:08:59 <greenshoe> so my question is - will this screw up my reconciliation? I think it will not. I simply keep reconciling next month knowing the opening balance will appear wrong because the adjusting transaction is gone and thre is now an opening balance transaction which is unchecked. Check the opening balance transaction, and reconcile and things should match.
23:09:03 <greenshoe> So I
23:09:11 <greenshoe> I'm just asking for a sanity check. :-)
23:15:19 <greenshoe> Question 2 - I don't see any problem with going to accrual basis for a handfull of bills and doing the rest as cash basis. Does anyone else foresee a possible problem? For bills like utilities and a handful of others, I have overpaid sometimes and underpaid sometimes. This creates inaccurate cashflow reporting from month to month because I didn't, for example, spend $600 on utilites this month and $400 3 months ago. I simply paid the bi
23:15:19 <greenshoe> lls at those times.
23:15:27 <greenshoe> Thanks.
